A skilled butcher's friend is a cleaver, a large knife that stands out for its shape versatility but generally takes the form of a rectangular-bladed hatchet. Its primary function in kitchens and butcher shops revolves around chopping through bone. The broad side of this versatile blade can also be utilized to crush ingredients such as garlic during food preparation. Throughout history, tools similar to cleavers have been employed by various cultures. In the Acheulean period, humans first started utilizing tools designed with sharp blades to slice and dice their way through daily tasks. Designing a cleaver involves a unique combination of elements that allow it to stand out from other kitchen knives. This includes creating a tougher edge capable of withstanding intense physical demands. To accomplish this feat, craftsmen employ a softer yet tougher steel and build the blade thicker than usual, ensuring its strength doesn't falter when faced with demanding use. When used properly, the cleaver operates much like a meat tenderizer or hammer – leveraging pure momentum to cut efficiently through tough materials rather than sawing motions commonly associated with other kitchen tools. While chopping bones with such force might initially seem counterintuitive, the weight and strength behind these movements allow for smoother execution and reduced pressure on the user's hands. Consequently, these tools don't need finely honed edges – in fact, extremely sharp cleavers could become less effective at performing their duties effectively due to being too sharp. Furthermore, the design allows users to easily use them with considerable force from their side for tasks such as crushing various food materials like squash or breaking up chicken bones that are often soft. In contrast to finer cutting blades which might risk cracking under the same strain, a heavy-duty cleaver would instead merely bear and disintegrate. The primary use cases of these instruments lie in dealing with relatively soft or thin bones and connective tissue within meats – for example cutting through bird ribs when cooking a chicken. It can also be employed effectively while prepping hard vegetable matter like certain varieties of squash to minimize damage from fine cutting blades which may easily break under repetitive impact stress. Cleavers are, however, typically reserved against dealing with denser harder bones; those cases are often suited to bone saws - manual or motorized – as the primary instrument. Historically, Chinese folklore offers us glimpses into traditional wisdom on proper usage. According to ancient tales about skilled butchers in Chinese thought, master butchers employed the most suitable cutting strategies by always aiming their blade within the gap between rather than through bones; in some ways an elegant solution emphasizing simplicity and efficient resource utilization for any type of chopping need involved. As stated so eloquently in junzi principles by Confucian philosopher Kongs, one shouldn't over-embellish oneself. To elaborate on junzis values that teach simplicity in everyday life, his wise saying goes 'Why would you attempt using an ox cleaver just for carving chicken?' Source (Translated from the original)
